- Public ticketed holiday program; Mission grounds open 10 am–7 pm on programming days, with holiday programming from 3:30 pm and no dogs. Full 2026 select-evening calendar is still coming.
Please note: The Mission confirms opening night Friday, December 18, 2026, select evenings through December 30 and a nightly digital projection around 6:05 p.m. Because the page still does not identify every select evening unambiguously, only the announced opening night remains in the visitor calendar.
